Create: Tools for Planning Your Own Space

Make a Work Base that Keeps You Comfortable

Most of us assume the common stresses and strains we feel throughout the workday are just part of the computing experience. But that need not be the case—you can benefit by creating your own personalized “work base.” The tools and resources below will help.

If computing for longer than a couple hours, take these steps for ergonomic wellness:

1. Establish Neutral Posture

Work should fit the worker rather than making the worker adjust to fit his or her work.

Ergonomic Mounts & Furniture—Use equipment that can easily adjust to changes in your posture that occur throughout the day. Specifically, this means having an adjustable chair, display mount and keyboard tray

Payback Calculator—Determine the return on investment for the purchase of ergonomic equipment
